Lining Axforce 100 Badminton Racket

The Li-Ning AxForce 100 is the flagship of Li-Ning's AxForce attacking line, a head-heavy, stiff-shaft badminton racket built for advanced players who win points through power. Also written as "Ax Force 100", it carries one of the highest carbon specifications Li-Ning has put into a production racket, with a 6.0mm shaft tuned for fast, powerful hitting. The black and gold frame takes its design cue from the Qilin, a beast from Chinese mythology. This is a genuine Li-Ning racket imported by Sunlight Sports, sold unstrung so you can choose your own string and tension.

Who this racket is for

The AxForce 100 suits an advanced, attack-minded player whose game is built on smashing and steep downward pressure. The head-heavy balance loads weight behind the smash, and the stiff shaft returns energy fast for players who already generate their own racket-head speed. If you play aggressive singles or you are the back-court hitter in doubles, this frame rewards that style.

Who should look elsewhere

If you are an intermediate player or still building wrist and forearm strength, a stiff head-heavy flagship like this will feel demanding and can tire your arm in long matches. Players who rely on speed and quick defence will be better served by a head-light or even-balance racket. For a lighter, more forgiving attacking option in the same family, the Li-Ning AxForce 90 is the more sensible step.

Specifications

Frame and shaft

The head uses a box-shaped Dynamic Optimum Frame, which stays solid and resists twisting on heavy contact. That gives efficient power transfer with strong vibration damping, so the racket feels punchy rather than harsh. The 6.0mm shaft is among the thinnest in production, cutting air drag for a quick response, and the aramid fibre inner layer reduces shaft amplitude to keep shots stable.

Carbon technology

The AxForce 100 carries one of the highest carbon specifications in Li-Ning's range. M50 and M40X high-modulus carbon in the head, with M50 and T1100 in the shaft, are what give the frame its combination of stiffness, stability, and clean energy return. For players who want the most advanced materials Li-Ning offers in a current racket, this is the top of the AxForce line.

String recommendation

As a power frame, the AxForce 100 pairs well with a repulsion or control string depending on your preference. Higher tension toward 28-30 lbs sharpens control for clean hitters, while the low-to-mid range adds repulsion for players who want easier power. We string up to 26 lbs in-house to protect the frame in transit; you can re-string higher locally if you want a tighter bed. Browse badminton strings to pick a match.
